Switching HDD to another PC

If I have a ssd (NTFS format) with random files on it, and I take it and put it in a new PC with a new windows install... Will that PC be able to read that drive and all the files on it?

 

Thanks

Yes, it should be fine. I don't believe it works with REFS but as it's a standard NTFS format should work. Most you might have to do is take ownership of the drive on the new PC. 

 

As always with this sort of thing though, I'd advise making a backup before moving it as things can always go wrong and better safe than sorry.

Best solution is - just try first, then ask. It's literally plug and play operation and results will be visible right after boot.
